I've noticed not being able to set link speed is a known issue that's been =
around for a while:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-19.05/rel_notes/known_issues.html#cannot-set-li=
nk-speed-on-intel-40g-ethernet-controller
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/users/2018-March/002982.html

However, when I remove the following check in i40e_ethdev.c:
        // if (dev->data->dev_conf.link_speeds & ETH_LINK_SPEED_FIXED) {
        //            PMD_INIT_LOG(ERR,
        //            "Invalid link_speeds for port %u, autonegotiation dis=
abled",
        //                                  dev->data->port_id);
        //            return -EINVAL;
        // }

and force i40e_phy_conf_link to run by setting the link down after configur=
ing link_speeds in the application:
        port_conf.link_speeds =3D  ETH_LINK_SPEED_1G | ETH_LINK_SPEED_FIXED=
;
        rte_eth_dev_set_link_down(port);
        ...
        rte_eth_dev_start(port);

The link appears to have changed from the default value of 10Gb to 1Gb, for=
 Intel XXV710 NIC.
Is this a correct way to change the link speed? Or is there a problem I'm m=
issing, that caused this to be blocked?
